Summary

Of course it's totally normal to work together for eight years before becoming a couple, right? That doesn't mean there's nothing new to discover...although it must be admitted, some things never change. Jake and Amy realize that just because they're "Jake and Amy" now doesn't mean they aren't still...well, Jake and Amy.

Shameless fluff with a side helping of smut, courtesy of everyone's favorite idiots.

Summary

*PLEASE NOTE - this is NOT a Bughead fic, while their relationship is mentioned and has existed in the timeline of this story, they are NOT the main relationship pairing or focus and the end game...who knows.*

Five years ago Jughead Jones left Riverdale and the girl he loved to make something of himself. He shattered her heart but he knew he wasn’t enough and that he needed to do this, both for her and for himself. Now, at 24, the successful writer returns to his home town hoping to catch the one that got away, except a lot has changed. Riverdale is not the town he knew, the people are not the same people he left behind and maybe you can't go back, maybe sometimes it's not what it seems.

Betty Coopers heart was shattered not once but twice at the tender age of 18 and she thought she might not ever find a love as strong again. But people aren’t always what they seem and sometimes love is found in the most unsuspected places.

The Southside is full of broken men & broken families, but maybe it’s not as lost and tarnished as it seems; yes, there is darkness there but maybe all it needed is a ray of light & for one man that light shines through in blonde & emeralds

Summary

It all starts in the way most things do: at a party.

(“And, you know, if you really want revenge,” he pauses to take a sip of his beer, and if Betty didn’t know better she’d almost think he was nervous about something, something she can’t even identify, “I’m not opposed to us doing it.”
